The traditions
Eight states.
One thread.
The Northeast is home to hundreds of communities and as many ways of adorning the body. We don’t try to flatten them into one look — we follow the thread that runs between them: beads passed down, metal worked by hand, colour worn with pride.

The coin collar is even more beautiful in person. I wore it to my cousin’s wedding in Agartala and three aunties asked where it was from.
Light, well made and the little card about Naga beadwork that came with it was such a lovely touch.
I bought the Kopou studs for Bihu and haven’t taken them off since. Packaging was gorgeous too.
